Bayometric, a long-standing innovator in biometric identity solutions, has officially received FBI Appendix F certification for its advanced Live Scan software. This prestigious approval underscores the company’s commitment to delivering high-accuracy biometric systems that meet the most rigorous federal standards for fingerprint image quality and secure electronic transmission.
The certification, awarded by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division, validates that Bayometric’s Live Scan software complies with Appendix F criteria—designed to ensure image interoperability with the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. The NGI serves as the world’s largest and most sophisticated biometric database, and only software that meets its exacting standards may be used for submissions from law enforcement, government agencies, and authorized private organizations.
Setting a New Standard in Digital Fingerprinting
Live Scan technology has largely replaced traditional ink-and-paper fingerprinting in favor of digital methods that are faster, more accurate, and easier to process. Bayometric’s software delivers high-resolution images in full compliance with the FBI’s Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS), ensuring consistent clarity, accurate minutiae detection, and seamless data exchange.
Certified testing was conducted using leading hardware devices such as the Suprema RealScan G10, Integrated Biometrics Kojak, and Thales DactyScan 84c. Bayometric’s software proved fully compatible, further reinforcing its versatility and future-readiness for a variety of biometric capture environments.
